Programmers have to learn an incredible amount of information to even BEGIN to be effective at their job. So it's only natural that we don't like to find out something we learned - is wrong in a different context. With so much invested, being open to the possibility that there's a better way to do things can be hard.

In this episode, I share some mindset limitations that we can fall into in tech job roles. We can feel so strongly about experiences we've had, that they blind us from being open to other equally valid perspectives. Every one of these is a mistake I've made more than once in my career.

I hope by being aware of these, you don't end up believing lies. Instead, this information can help you make wiser decisions on your software project - so you don't end up looking like a fool.
